Forged luxury. Every knife has a unique pattern. Sharp blade and premium wood.
With their special characteristics, the Ikon series knives make the holiday experience. The riveted handle, made of selected (sustainably grown) African grenadilla (Dalbergia melanoxylon), is striking, and each piece has a unique pattern. The special wood is water-resistant and hygienic, making it particularly suitable for kitchen use. At the same time, it has a natural, comfortably warm feel, and the ergonomically shaped handle is a pleasure to hold and use. The unique geometry with a double bolster fits well in the hand, guarantees optimal balance and ensures even cutting, even over longer periods. Thanks to the half bolster, the knife is lighter, allowing energy-saving work. The design also allows the full blade to be used and sharpened. The blade is forged from a single piece of high-quality stainless X50CrMoV15 steel, with a 29° edge angle, and is characterised by a high level of robustness and durability. The blade runs the full length of the handle (full tang). The final hand-finishing by Wüsthof's experienced specialists ensures exceptional sharpness and quick, easy cutting.
• Double bolster geometry – Balance and ergonomics: the special geometry with a double bolster ensures balanced handling. The knife therefore sits well in the hand and guarantees even cutting.
• Half bolster: thanks to the slimmer bolster construction, the knife is lighter. This allows energy-saving work. The design also allows the full blade to be used and re-sharpened.
• Paring knife: the practical knife with a short, curved cutting edge is especially useful for peeling and cleaning round fruits and vegetables. Valuable vitamins remain intact thanks to the precision blade, which reduces food waste.
• Handle: the African grenadilla wood handle scales are riveted securely and assembled without gaps. The water-resistant wood is extremely hygienic and comes from controlled cultivation.
• Scalloped blade: when cutting, small air pockets form in the hollows of the blade. As a result, thin or soft foods are easier to remove from the blade during use and do not stick to it.
• Precision double-serrated edge: the bread knife with its unique double-serrated edge cuts hard crusts as easily as soft bread, or large fruits such as pumpkin. The difference compared to traditional serrated edges is immediately noticeable.
Dishwasher use is not recommended.
